When Did You Realize This Team Was A Contender?
For me, I think it was probably on Christmas Day, after we beat Phoenix. After that game, we were 18-10, and playing extremely well. That's when I really started to believe that this team could win the NBA Championship this year. We had already beaten Phoenix once before, as well as Utah, Houston, Detroit, Denver, Golden State and San Antonio, but it wasn't until the Christmas Day game.
Of course, reaching the #1 spot in the West before Bynum's injury and then getting Pau basically let me know for sure that we were contenders.
